Best Female Bass Player

[quote name='leschirons' post='349048' date='Dec 8 2008, 09:56 PM']Carole Kaye I reckon. Seem to remember she did the low end (upright) on an old Nancy Sinatra song called These boots are made for walking. First ever bassist to use defined quarter tones in a bass line. (for the intro)[/quote]
Just been listening to that - it's great, whoever it is.

Did Carole Kaye play upright?

[StringNavigator]

Listen... Elvis played bass... I play bass... Anyone can play bass...!

But I can't believe that you never heard of Boogie Cindy with the Boogie Wonder Band... Y'all gotta visit Montreal...

I LIKED this video so many times, my fingers ache.

Welcome sir...

It seems there's going to be a lot of stuff here for you to regurgitate..😏😏

Anyone mentioned Tina Weymouth? My favourite player, and the reason I started playing in the first place. Anyone who can hold it down with two notes is alright with me. 

[Dood]

Crickey! Another 6 months and this thread would have been dead for ten years!

Perhaps...But she never claimed to.                                                                                                        

 

Someone else would play DB in the lower register while she would tic-toc or use the higher register.

I’ve met her and she’s my bass hero.

[Frank Blank]

I'm not sure gender really matters here, she's just the best...

Blimey, quoted from 2009! That's even before the BigBeefChief was banned!

Double bass on These Boots are Made for Walkin' was Chuck Berghofer, I believe.

Fixed.  (No, not simply pedantry; there really is a Brandi Wynn, but she's not the bass player with OT...) 

[fleabag]

OZ have had more than one bass player but Brandi Wynn is or was the bass player with the Tentacles

And she's a damn good one too

See my previous post ^^ ...

[fleabag]

I did -  hatori said Brandi Wynn from the Ozric Tentacles.  Thats the same as saying Mitch Mitchell from the Hendrix band.  He was correct.

OK; whatever. There appears to be two spellings doing the rounds, so... Never mind, back to the topic; s'no matter.

[BreadBin]

I'm pretty sure it's Wynne - she married Ed Wynne from the Ozrics.

[hatori]

Gentlemen, my profuse apologies for miss spelling her surname.

There are no female bass players, there are no male bass players. There are bass players! 😤

[fleabag]

In case anyone is interested

I think the bass girl from Fetchin' Bones was tasteful and also tastey looking on stage. Juliana Hatfield is a thoughtful bass player that deserves a good listen.The B-52s had a good girl bass player on "Deadbeats Club".
